The sad thing about Lucas is, that you are only good, when you accept his new vision. What I am trying to say is that, it's not only that OUT fans are ignored. 1997 fans are also ignored (trust me, there are many people who prefer them over 2004 edition - no Hayden, better colors and so on), just like the 2004 fans (they also do exist - all those kids who grew up with it). Now everyone has to accept the 2011 version. But the saddest thing is, when the 3D version (with new changes) comes out, this will be the version you will have to accept. Those who prefer the 2011 version, will be ignored again.

Do you prefer the 1997 edition? Well, the best possible quality (available legally) is only laserdisc.

Do you prefer 2004 edition, without Vader yelling noooo? Well, the best possible quality is DVD.

And so on....

With Lucas, you just have nothing to say. You can't have a version you prefer. You have to accept what vision Lucas actually have and that's it.
